A busy road in Hinckley is to be closed for five nights next month for resurfacing works to take place.

Leicestershire Council Council Highways said Nutts Lane would be closed between 7.30pm and 6am from Monday October 2 for approximately five nights.

A statement from the council said: “The Temporary Traffic Regulation Order will be implemented for public safety to allow Leicestershire County Council to safely undertake carriageway resurfacing works.

“There will be a Prohibition of Waiting at Any time for the duration of the works on Nutts Lane.”

A diversion route along Coventry Road and the A5 and vice versa will be signposted for the duration of the works.
